SeaGuini - Opal Sands Resort

We came here for dessert and they certainly delivered! Meg provided top notch service on a busy evening and did so with a smile. The creme brûlée and macchiato was absolutely divine! Perfectly paired and both equally delicious and complimented each other so well. We stayed for a few drinks were also perfectly crafted. The low lighting and beautiful decor provided a perfect ambiance for a date night. It’s also worth noting that the chairs at the bar were also large and comfortable! I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back!

We had the pleasure of dining twice while on our vacation. Once was lunch poolside and the other time was Christmas Eve Dinner. Both were amazing meals. The staff was lovely and the value of the meal was great. I would highly recommend. My Rack of Lamb on Christmas Eve was brilliant.

Dinner was delicious and our server Juusv was exceptional. She recommended some great entrees along with dessert. She mentioned she was new but her attention to detail was first class. Cocktails were on point and at our table in record time. The water views and atmosphere were spectacular. Best service in the area. Highly recommend.

Had an excellent breakfast and dinner at this location. Dining here at sunset has magical ambiance as the setting sun fills the dining room with an ethereal glow. Wait staff fully understands the menu. Had a short rib hash for breakfast that was gluten-free and could feed an army. It was plentiful and delicious. Picture below after I had started devouring it. The presentation of the plates is beautiful and appetizing. Dinner included a spaghetti bolognese with gluten free pasta that was unctuously good. Appetizer of vegetable crust pizza and grilled octopus! Yummy! Wearing a collared shirt for men is a suggestion but it isn’t a “stuffy” restaurant even though the food is elegant and inspired. On a Saturday night, we did see other customers dressed elegantly, but we still felt welcomed and comfortable in our clothes that would qualify as work casual with nice shorts.

Food and location were great, but the service felt rushed and uncomfortable. Our server, Francisco, lowered the window shade without asking, repeatedly asked to clear plates while we were still eating, and brought the check before we had finished dessert. This felt noticeably different from how nearby tables were treated. I hope management can address this.

Great option on the beach the pizza was great had the tuscan with a great spice kick from the sauce and good flovor from the meat balls we also added ricotta which gave it a nice touch. The pasta was good had the ali olio which was not authentic style but good just felt could use less of the extra ingredients they added like spinach and cherry tomatoes to a garlic and oil based pasta. The scallops were an add on at $14 each were a bit steep and all 3 were over cooked and spongey but had great flavor from the blackened seasoning. We finished with the tiramisu and a coffee. Good option great views and the hotel is stunning will be back for another try. Thanks

Reserved a table for 3 and we were given a table with 2 chairs. We weren't told there's a kids menu for our 8 year old - we only found out because we overheard the other table ordering from a kids menu when we were getting the bill. We sat at 7:10 and our mains came out at 8:20. Berry mule was bland. Papardelle was so soft, it broke just by lifting it with a fork. Barely any lobster or crab in it. Had to put extra parmesan and chili flakes to have some semblance of flavor. Since mains took so long, Margherita pizza was cold and chewy. Octopus was good though - it went together well with the hummus and fried chickpeas. I think that's more than enough reason for the single star. Top dollar price for run of the mill experience.

A few days ago I celebrated my girlfriend’s 30th birthday, the hostess and the manager Rich were so kind when I had called to order a bottle of wine for the table and some rose petals to have upon arrival. They really did a wonderful job on executing everything for us. The only thing I would say is that the food did not really impress us. Some of the items we ordered weren’t really hot, and also lacked flavor. Other than that the ambiance was splendid and Rich came back to check on us to make sure we were doing alright.

Enjoyed a nice Valentine's dinner here with a mix of steaks and seafood for all tastes. They offered a preset menu specifically for VDay where each person could order one appetizer, one dinner, and one dessert for $120/pp. The glass wall with moving water bubbles and constantly chasing colors is a fun view to sit by (pic posted). The brussel sprouts appetizer is HUGE. It was double the size I have received at other places, so took some back to the hotel for leftovers. They also came with a tasty dipping sauce that was unique as well. The Caesar salad was neutral; no strong flavor yet not distasteful. No anchovies taste either. I could take it or leave it. The filet steak was tender served over some mashed potatoes and thick asparagus wrapped in salty, yummy bacon. The smoky old fashioned and expresso martini (with Baileys added extra!) drinks were tasty. Make a reservation online and Uber/Lyft if you are close as it's easy in and out!

Amazing experience for dinner and breakfast at SeaGuini! Portions a huge and for dinner we started with the Brussels sprouts and fried artichoke. Both were great. We ended up splitting the seafood pasta dish, and it was more than either of us could eat, even after splitting it. Service was good for dinner. Martini was good, but the blue cheese stuffed olives were prepackaged from a jar. Breakfast blew us away. Every dish we had was great. I don't think you can go wrong. Breakfast pizza was surprisingly great and enough for two people to split. Service at breakfast was fantastic. The coffee was always flowing and the servers were always smiling. The atmosphere and ambience are OK. I don't love the vibe, as it felt like a dated dining room experience. But Food was still great. If you are staying at the Opal Sands, the entire complex has amazing food and you don't even have to leave. Huge benefit to staying there.

It's always good to come here after dinner and sit at the bar and get dessert and an espresso martini. That totally hit the spot for me. It was a very busy night, even though it was extremely windy outside. It was extremely busy at the bar, even though the bar was full. You can still order drinks at the bar and drink in the lobby. There's a lot of seating and coffee tables in the lobby area just right out in front of the restaurant.

Our Valentine's Day dinner at Seaguini, at a window table in the lounge, was very elegant but actually disappointing to both of us. We started with a shrimp cocktail sprinkled with sprouts, with an odd-tasting sauce that seemed greasy and didn't cling to the shrimp. Next came an excellent lobster bisque. We both had fish entrees, and found them to be overdone with fancy embellishments that smothered and overpowered rather than complimenting the fish. We shared a slice of Key Lime pie, but left much of the too-thick, hard crust. Despite our quibbles we had a lovely time and the service was perfect. We breakfasted here all week during our stay; the food and service were first-rate. For dinner, however, we preferred Drift in the Opal Sol across the street. The view wasn't as dramatic but the chef understood fish much better.

When I was down visiting a friend in Clearwater, we decided to celebrate my birthday at SeaGuini. The restaurant is beautiful, the waterfall wall is so cool. The gulf views and sunsets are amazing. The food is good and the service was exceptional. This is a high end place so expect to pay about $120pp. The steaks and seafood were well done. I recommend this place for a romantic evening or special occasion. After, you can do to the bar outside and enjoy the evening.

Elevated dining in Clearwater Beach. The restaurant is beautifully designed and elegant. While we weren't there to celebrate a special occasion, it's a place that definitely warrants a celebration. The service is on par with what you would expect in a fine dining establishment. The food is delicious and fresh. I really enjoyed my Gulf Coast Cioppino, and I have high expectations as I grew up eating Cioppino in San Francisco where it originated. Though the Dungeness crab was swapped for a lobster tail, it was one of the best Cioppinos I've had outside of San Francisco.

Excellent food! Served promptly and with a smile. Server Pedro was awesome ! Great place to come for any occasion. Open seating at the bar area, multiple low & high top tables. Great choices on the menu! Top service and very personalized! Such a beautiful venue overlooking the Gulf! A great place to come anytime and especially on a holiday. Very clean, quick service and Beautifully decorated. Perfect evening for Christmas Eve!

This is a nice seafood restaurant located in a hotel on Clearwater Beach. The food, service, and ambience were excellent. It came with high prices, but it was worth the experience. We had a reservation for 6:30pm and went outside on the pool deck in the middle of our dinner to take sunset pictures. It was rainy, but the pictures still turned out nice. We were, however, disappointed because my friend put that we were celebrating her birthday on the reservation, and they did not acknowledge it at all. Here is what we got: Grilled octopus: great appetizer! The octopus was cooked well and tasty. Crispy stuffed artichoke: not artichoke-tasting at all with a strange interior. The outside fried part tasted great though. Beet salad: loved the beets and the citrus fruit. I replaced blue cheese with feta because I am not a blue cheese fan, but the feta still had too much of a distinct sharp taste (in an unpleasant way). This was surprising to me because I have always previously liked feta. Pan-seared local snapper: great taste and flavourful fish! A few of my friends ordered it, and they all enjoyed it. Tiramisu: the most tiramisu-tasting tiramisu I've had. The coffee liqueur taste was very strong. Such a small piece though.

We stayed at the Opal Sol and enjoyed this restaurant very much during our stay. We never had to wait very long to sit inside. The ambiance is very nice for a date or celebration. Katie was a great waitress and was very attentive. The food was fantastic we enjoyed every meal we had here.

Excellent service at the bar Great sunset views Tried the strawberry shortcake martini. It's vanilla vodka with strawberry syrup and a graham cracker rim. A perfect dessert drink. Also enjoyed the lemon ricotta stuffed fried artichoke. Drizzled with balsamic. Highly recommend. Good portion for an appetizer.

Don't wait for your Anniversary to go there! Although we had a great time on ours this year. Everything was top notch. I planned our reservation around the sunset and the food, service and ambiance didn't disappoint! Worth the drive from Tampa. You want impress your spouse, this is the place. Prices were fair for the experience.

We weren't hotel guests but wanted to try this spot for its location and ambiance. Beautiful spot! The food was ok- pricey overall. I have other local favorites I'd prefer to go back to.

My partner and I dined here for the three-course Valentine's Day menu, and unfortunately, we were very disappointed. The food was extremely average and significantly overpriced for the quality we received. The pasta tasted like it had been frozen and reheated rather than freshly prepared. The NY strip lacked the texture and flavor you'd expect from a steak and was more reminiscent of pot roast. For a special holiday menu, we were expecting something much more elevated. We were honestly shocked when the bill came to $300. For that price point, the experience and food quality simply didn't match the cost. It felt more like hospital food than a high-end Valentine's dinner. Unfortunately, we wouldn't recommend it based on our experience.

Nice experience overall. Great service. The crispy calamari - lightly dusted, calabria pepper aioli, crispy zucchini, sweet tomato chips, house pomodoro sauce was fantastic. My main of the citrus glazed gulf grouper - lemon & herb risotto, roasted red peppers, pineapple salsa, coconut beurre blanc could have had more going on for it. I tried a slice of the margherita pizza - a classic, oven-roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, housemade pomodoro sauce, torn basil at the table, and that's a pass. Not sure why they even bother putting it on the menu. The place itself is gorgeous. Though it feels like it longs for a fish tank, the transparent wall with the water and cascading bubbles is mezmorizing.

Great first visit! I came to Seaguini for the first time and was really impressed. The pizza was delicious, and the grouper plate was rich and flavorful. Beautiful atmosphere and great service.

SeaGuini exceeded our expectations in every way! We chose this spot for a special occasion anniversary dinner and highly recommend it for any celebration. The entire staff went above and beyond to make our night feel extra special. Exceptional professionalism and the food was fantastic. Whipped feta app, grouper entree, shrimp pasta all delicious. Will be back for future celebrations.

Excellent date night restaurant in the beautiful, modern Opal Sands hotel. Reasonable valet option, restaurant was on the first floor. We got seated near the entrance by the window with a view of the pool area. Service was very friendly and helpful. We both got fish, the pan seared snapper and the citrus glazed grouper. Both were great.

This restaurant is located in the opal sands hotel. We had a hard time finding it as there was no signage on the street. Valet parking was the only parking option. The restaurant is quite nice with a good vibe . The service was friendly and the food came fast. We had the grouper , red snapper and the aleoglio pasta with grilled shrimp. We had an assortment of dessert. The food was quite delicious. Grazzie seaguini fir giving us a beautiful taste of Italy in a quite nice setting.

The best restaurant around! Fresh seafood, our waiter was phenomenal, really special experience!

Amazing ambiance, expansive views, smooth Italian red wines, what more can you ask for? But the braised short rib is on another level. A must get! Service is very attentive and professional. Will come back!

This restaurant is gorgeous and a great spot for a nice dinner. Our waiter was extremely attentive and made our night lovely. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and the food came out perfect. There was so much flavor and the ingredients were fresh. I'm glad I had the opportunity to dine here and would try it again if I'm ever in the area!

This is my family's favorite place to go for celebrations. You are guaranteed a wonderful meal with excellent service and a great view. It's hard to please everyone in a party but this place always knocks it out of the park. I highly recommend.

The food and service was excellent! We would definitely return!! The customer service was excellent. The staff was knowledgeable. The food was clean fresh and delicious.

Excellent food and service in a beautiful location. Charles our waiter was wonderful. And the food phenomenal. I had the fried calamari and brussel sprouts as apps; beet salad; and the spaghetti garlic olive oils pasta w/scallops; tiramisu and the bundini dessert and it was allllll top notch! Also tried a new wine called my favorite neighbor which was great! It's a must in Clearwater!

Had an overall fine dining experience here. The hotel and restaurant are both stunning and the views facing the ocean are perfect for a lovely dinner. My boyfriend and I got seated right away and Chris was our server. He got our drink and food orders right away. I had ordered a glass of Cabernet wine and my boyfriend tried their Manhattan and old fashioned drink. We had also ordered the Tuscan pizza as an appetizer. Our drinks came after being seated for 25 minutes which took a while, but our pizza ended up taking a whole hour to come to our table which was quite frustrating. We also noticed 3 tables who sat after us, receive their appetizers within 10-15 minutes from ordering. Chris could sense our confusion and frustration and comped our appetizer off our bill right away which was appreciated. The rest of the food just meets expectations. I had their penne alla vodka with chicken and my boyfriend had the rigatoni bolognese. Overall, prices and quality of the dinner experience just were enough for 3 stars.

Inside of a gorgeous hotel with really nice views. One of the only nicer ambience /vibe restaurants in Clearwater beach area where you can dress up if you choose to have more of an evening /night out experience but flip flops and sundresses totally ok too. They stay busy so make reservations. Not cheap but again nice break from regular mom and pop restos on the strip. We had seafood dishes which were around $46-57 each. Service is very good.

We had dinner here tonight. It was much better than a typical hotel restaurant. I got lobster and crab gnocchi and my wife got the grouper. Both were good, but the lobster and crab are overwhelmed by the gouda and truffle sauce. I think we would both get something different if we would go back. Our service was excellent and the restaurant was very nice.

Aesthetically gratifying ambience. Personable and helpful bartender. Restaurant was working with a limited menu so it didn't have all the items listed on their website. We ordered the truffle arugula mushroom flatbread. Delicious. Along with the Brussels sprouts which were flavorful. I wanted something cooling so I ordered the shrimp cocktail but they were disappointing, it was an order of 4 rather small. I wouldn't order it again. Ended the night with the pumpkin creme brulee. It was appropriate for the season and something new to try.

Came here for some Sunday brunch. Place was pretty empty, so we didn't have to make a reservation. Service was pretty good, friendly and attentive. Ambience was pretty good as well, very modern and upscale. We had pina colada non alcoholic and it was just pre packaged. Wasn't freshly made, so it was disappointing. We had grouper sandwich and grouper tacos. We started with opal salad and tuna crudo. Salad was pretty good and tuna crudo was enjoyable as well. Unfortunately the portion was pretty small. Tacos were huge but they definitely lacked flavor. I enjoyed them but I had much better tacos in the past. Grouper Burger was great. Overall pretty good experience.

Great find on Yelp! We were looking for a special occasion restaurant and SeaGuini did not disappoint. Warm service without being stuffy, in a bright, airy, unpretentious space. Our $45 bottle of sparkling rose was tasty and didn't break the bank. Steak and halibut special were cooked perfectly; as was octopus appetizer although the latter was a tad salty, Would return for sure.

I had my 40th birthday dinner here recently and it was wonderful! When you think of hotel restaurants you don't think of impressive food, but this restaurant is quite the opposite. Everything we had was delicious, and the service by our server, Gary and his support staff, for our very large party was impeccable! The restaurant is also beautifully decorated with a view of the ocean. Definitely come to this restaurant (and request Gary) when you're in the Clearwater beach area.

Sometimes the expensive hotel restaurant is overrated, but I can confidently say that SeaGuini was anything but overrated. The focaccia bread was a fabulous appetizer and came with sweet honey butter that keeps it light after a Long Beach day. We had the penne alla vodka with sea scallops and the tropical grouper - both were spectacular. The pasta was hand made and the grouper was nice and flakey. Finished with crème brûlée that was also great - coming from someone who makes some pretty awesome crème brûlée on the regular. Ambiance was great and the views are amazing at sunset! Our server, Pedro, was excellent as well! Overall, great experience!!

Nice hotel restaurant and the service was up to par. Cauliflower Arancini. Portion smaller than expected but it was good. The sauce really made this dish 4/5 Opal Salad - the greens were wilted which was quite disappointing for this type of establishment. 2/5. Rustica Pizza - holy moly this was good. If it wasn't for this dish I would have said something to management. Definitely get this. Nice size portion and super good. 5/5. Rigatoni Bolognese - I wanted to send this back. I always look forward to homemade pasta. Unfortunately this came out super soggy. 2/5. This could have been a bad dining experience but was saved by the pizza

We visited this restaurant several times while on vacation to Clearwater. It is located inside the Opal Sands Hotel and is by far one of the best dining options in Clearwater Beach. The restaurant has a variety of food options but they specialize in seafood. However the short rib was amazing and we got it on several occasions. Their starters and mains are all big portions and one thing we loved is the restaurant was willing to split a dish amongst two people. We did this on a few of our visits as after the first one we realized that by each of us (4) ordering starters, mains, and desserts we were having to take a lot of food leftover. The staff was always very accommodating for any of our needs and the recommendations they gave nightly were wonderful. My family is already looking forward to our return visit.

The restaurant was very busy and we waited 20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated, and an additional 20 minutes for drinks, but Halle saved our experience. We were there for our 5th wedding anniversary and she took amazing care of our requests. Thank you Halle for saving our dining experience!

The food here was phenomenal. I found out about this place while I was staying at Sand Opal. I ordered the penne alla vodka and it was very flavorful and the beach views are immaculate. AL also helped us make our experience so much better !

Had a fantastic meal at SeaGuini. Located at the Opal Sands resort in Clearwater beach, this is a lovely restaurant with great sea themed decor. We started with the Brussels sprouts: flash-fried, shaved parmesan, whole grain mustard & truffle aioli and had the Pan-seared local snapper: local snapper, roasted florida corn broth, sweet gulf shrimp, smokehouse bacon & potato hash, roasted fresh cauliflower. Both were absolutely fantastic. The snapper was perfectly cooked. I love the decor, nice and light and bright with many windows looking out over the pool and the ocean. Our server was great, he was very knowledgeable about the menu and all the items and the wines.

Very nice experience! The food are fresh and the service are professional. We like the crispy calamari which is the best so far we had. The dessert is made from high quality dark chocolate. Enjoy the restaurant room setting and the window view of a lovely pool.

The ambiance here is right up my alley. The first thing you see is a display of wine bottles, and next the bar. We stopped for a martini before our reservation. Service was good, and my lemon drop martini was excellent. We mentioned that we were celebrating an anniversary and requested a special table. They seated us at the window, near the colorful water display which was great. We were promptly given menus and they took our water request. The menu is fairly small, but has numerous good choices. We ordered a glass of wine, which turned out to be a nice pour. I started with the lobster bisque, which was outstanding. I would have liked more than the 2 small pieces of lobster in my bowl, but the flavor was great. The person who brought the soup failed to leave spoons, so we had to track someone down. I am a huge red sauce pasta fan, so I had to order the bolognese. The portion was large, and full of a great bolognese sauce. Something I have never experienced before in a bolognese was whole cherry tomatoes mixed in the sauce. This was easily a five star experience, except for the service, which was truly a disappointment. Our server wasn't friendly and didn't do anything to make the experience special.

Good friendly service from staff Romantic Ambiance & delicious food! Flavor is the best thing & food made with care So tasty!

I prefer eating inside to the outside dining area. Nice view of the gulf. Surprisingly, the food cooled off rather quickly coming outside.

We decided to go to Sea-Guini at the Opal Sands Resort in Clearwater Beach for our 15th Wedding Anniversary. Since we had a beach wedding, we had to have a dinner by the beach. I must say everything was perfect. From reservation through the whole dinner and at the end was everything and more. Reservation was easy and convenient through Yelp. Even stated where I would prefer to sit as well as celebrating our anniversary. Had to change time as well a slight bit due to traffic. No problem on the app. Everyone we came across was wonderful and we really had the best service. They were very thoughtful as well with their simple details such as the anniversary sign on the table and different people coming around to every table greeting everyone. We chose the citrus grouper and the short rib thanks to our awesome server's recommendations. He was very thorough with them as well. These dishes were excellent and a great size. We are glad we didn't get an app because we enjoyed dessert. While enjoying dinner, we enjoyed pics by the colorful bubble wall which I asked to sit by. And we enjoyed the overall look of the restaurant. It was coastal classy! After dinner, our server let us know that we had a free anniversary dessert, a cookies and cream cheesecake. He also let us know about the other desserts. The menu was simple and did not stand out much to us, but when our server said mango creme brûlée that was sure a winner. Even with the free anniversary cookies and creme and the mango creme brûlée we ordered, they also brought us free bourbon muffins which were great as well. I would highly recommend Sea-Guini in a heart beat. Our wedding anniversary was even more special with them!

Rustica pizza and braised short ribs were wonderful! Spaghetti Aglio was okay. The crème brûlée flavor changes regularly, at this time it was honey lavender. Service was good. I would not recommend showing up in a tshirt and shorts if you don't want to feel a little out of place. Quiet/relaxed atmosphere with an elevated feel.

My husband and I stay at the Opal Sand resort yearly for the last 5 years. We overslept one night and missed our dinner reservation, so decided to finally give Seaguini a try and OMG!!!! We were more so disappointed in ourselves for not trying Seaguini earlier. The pizza was amazing and our favorite dish, the crab & lobster gnocchi is absolutely amazingly delicious! The amount of crab and lobster that they put into this dish is unreal! The ambiance is romantic! The service is decent, our first waiter the first time we went was not friendly at all and seemed as if he was ready to get off. But during our last visit we had a different waiter and he was great! Attentive, welcoming, and really knew the menu. Now, Seaguini is a must for every vacation!

My fiancé and I came here for dinner and we didn't have a reservation but they were able to fit us in for being only a party of 2! The ambience is it is very fancy and recommend dressing up if you want to do a date night or special occasions. We got the bruschetta to start out as an appetizer and it was delicious! Then I got the short rib for my main meal and my fiancé got the chicken picatta. My short rib was easy to cut and absolutely delicious! We had Jordan as our server and he was great! Overall recommend when you're in Clearwater!

I love this restaurant. I love the food. The service is always good. The view is great. I made the reservation Monday or Tuesday for Saturday night when I got there Saturday night they asked me if I got a text confirmation and I said no I never did so they really didn't have my reservation. I never took down the girls name who took my reservation. Anyway we sat at a high top. it was available and everything was great. Food was great. The server was wonderful happy jovial. The place was busy happen. There was a wedding going on. It was just really nice. I would definitely go again, but I would make sure that I got a text confirmation.

Service, atmosphere, fresh Italian deliciousness check, check and check! Fantastic place for dinner. Im definitely going to consider staying at this hoyel next time! For appetizers, try the margherita pizza and calamari. This isnt your normal bar calamari, its well made and fresh! The margherita pizza was great as expected, they have a couple of other pizzas that are probably just as good. We ordered the cavatelli, more pizza and the pastas which were all fantastic. Parking is valet, and the service is 5 star! The views outside are spectacular. If in Clearwater you have to stop in for some great Iyalian cuisine!

Came here on a Christmas get together with friends. It is a beautiful restaurant...lots to look at! Service was helpful, nice, and even took our pictures :) They food was delicious but over priced in my opinion.

Our third time there. Server and food were excellent. Server asked if we wanted any bread to which we said yes. $10 charge on bill for specialty bread. Online reservation asked if was a special occasion. It was our anniversary. Nothing was mentioned to us except for desk hostess saying " happy anniversary. " Why ask if nothing is special otherwise. A bit subpar than our past experiences there. Opal Sands is the best hotel on Clearwater beach and generally this is an excellent restaurant.
